Nice Game

Submitted(+1)

Even though it is a simple infinite runner it is very well presented and the multiplayer twist is a nice touch, it might become a kind of "ruin your friendship game" and i love it :D

Developer

Hey, at least you'll be having fun as your friendship deteriorates. :P

A great infinite runner, but the link to the theme feels a little bit weak. I actually think that it would be fun to tone done the speed, and have one person control both cars in the multiplayer mode.

My only real qualm is that the hitboxes for obstacles feel a little bit too big. They're probably accurate, but I'd recommend making them (or the car hitbox) slightly smaller, so it doesn't feel unfair when you graze the edge of a barrel and then lose.

Developer

Good idea, I'll try to implement that in future games.

Fun and actually one of the best infinite runners I've played

Submitted(+1)

As an infinite runner, this is definitely fun. Giving the option to accelerate I think is a nice touch to the genre, and allows you to increase difficulty without going through menus. Could not test multiplayer with other people, but it seems like it is simply singleplayer except it's who dies first loses. Art and music are good fitters though the music could be louder by default. I cant say that this really fits the jam theme however: no brakes is a part of most endless runners and I dont think it really qualifies. Maybe in a different context, like an actual racing game.

Developer

I agree with singleplayer not really fitting with the theme. Though it works much better in multiplayer, as the 2 players can both influence the acceleration speed.

Fun infinite runner. Cool music and vibe.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, you really caught me with the game, it was really addicting and frustrating (in a good sense). I always wanted to go as fast as I could despite of the obstacles XD
A little suggestion: try to incorporate some visual feedback for the current position of the ship, maybe some kind of shadow beneath. Sometimes, it was difficult to understand where I was exactly. But overall, a good game!

Dang! I completly forgot about juicing up the vehicle.

Well, you might add these things after the rating is over. The game is still already cool ;)

Fun game and visuals! The audio and setting make for a chill vibe all around

Developer

Thanks, though full credit to Abstraction for most of the songs.

A really visually pleasant game to look at with nice music that matches the feel of what is going on.  The controls and gameplay felt enjoyable and fun, and the multiplayer angle would have been even more fun if I wasn't controlling both cars at once.

Really well done!

Developer

Ikr, when I was developing multiplayer I had to do the same. On the plus side, you get really good at it after a while.

Amazing looking graphics, music sounds great and gameplay is sharp. Love the flat colors, reminds me of games like Outrun. Seriously good job!

Developer

Thanks, took forever to find the right soundtracks.

The multiplayer was a nice addition. And the visuals were everything I would have hoped for and more. Good Job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. The multiplayer is what the game was built for, but I realized 0% of people had someone else lying around to play with.

Amazing game man!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, your one was pretty cool as well.

thx :D

Hitboxes could have been a lot more forgiving here! :]

Nice pun in the settings! extra points! :P

Developer

I try :)

Submitted(+1)

Hey, there's a lot of going on on the visual side, especially for a 48h contest– I like that! It could have matched the theme a bit better, but it works for me :)

Keep it up -Louis

Developer

Yeah, realized that half way through the jam, but by that point it was too late to do anything about it.

Enjoyed! It was a fun game that looks pretty good. Multiplayer mode is a nice touch. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks! Your one looked pretty good as well.

Nice visuals! That's a great amount of work done in under 48 hours.

Developer

Thanks! My team bailed on me just before the jam started, so had to make do with what I had.
